Letter: Romney shifts views to win over voters

Almost all presidential candidates shift their positions occasionally, but Gov. Mitt Romney is light years ahead of all the others on this. It happens so often that there is no way we can trust him or know what he really stands for.

In spring, he went to great lengths to convince us that he was a "severe" conservative in the primaries. Now he wants us to believe he's a moderate. He spent the last 18 months running on a $5 trillion tax cut and states that he'll balance it by cutting tax deductions. It won't. Moreover, Romney was to spend an additional $2 trillion for defense beyond what the Defense Department calls for. This is beyond fuzzy math, this is insanity.

Romney is constantly re-inventing himself. In 2002, he was a liberal running for Massachusetts governor. It would be impossible to recognize the Romney of today from that Romney because they are as different as night and day. That is the only election for public office that he has ever won. Ask yourself, isn't it strange that the people who know him best, in his home state, are hugely supporting President Obama rather than Romney? They know him better than we do, and what they know they don't like.

President Obama is intelligent, has ended the Iraq war, is ending the Afghanistan war, has worked to save the auto industry when it was in trouble but now is profitable, has reduced oil imports to the lowest levels in more than 30 years, has nearly doubled fuel economy standards, has made outstanding nominations for the Supreme Court, and is consistent.

We know where he stands, but we don't know where Romney stands. Vote for President Obama on Nov. 6.
